Mentors

The Mentorship Program is a core component of the MSIS curriculum. The program connects students with IT leaders through a unique one-to-one professional relationship that can bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world practices.

Students are able to gain perspective on various career paths and industries, expand their leadership strengths, and advance to the next level in professional development areas.
